This is why I prefer to settle cases with a Compromise and Release Agreement. With Stips, they screw the injured worker around as much as they can.
In your situation, I would file for an expedited hearing so that you can get your case on calendar ASAP. On the Declaration of Readiness to Proceed, I would also ask for Labor Code, 5814 sanctions.
Good luck.
